Photoclimat: Paris streets a canvas for stories of a planet in peril

Giant portraits of forest guardians stare down from Paris’s city squares. Images of threatened landscapes line the riverbanks, while wooden yurts have been turned into pop-up pavilions. Photoclimat, a grassroots photo biennale, has transformed the French capital into an open-air gallery where photography and activism collide.

Now in its third edition, Photoclimat brings together 47 artists from around the world. Their installations trace the work of non-profit groups tackling climate change, protecting biodiversity and defending communities on the frontlines.
